I thought you needed -z for compression?

I definitely recall that `tar -cf` is used for creating archives, so I’m leaning towards E as the right answer.

I feel like `-xf` is for extracting files, so that rules out C and D, but I'm confused about the others.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think the correct command needs to specify the output file first, so it might be E.

I think the command to create an archive should include the `-c` option, but I'm not sure if it's option E or B.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Can someone explain the Twelve-Factor methodology to me again?

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure what Setup Assistant is. The options seem a bit vague, so I'll have to think this through and see if I can eliminate any of the choices that don't seem to fit.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the difference between detect and prevent controls. I'll need to think this through carefully.
